Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 721
Outside the city of Yuezhou, Lu Chaoqun, Lu Zheng and his son led an army to attack the city.

This Yuezhou (now Shaoxing) is the eastern mansion of the Wuyue Kingdom, which means the eastern capital. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, two capitals were often established, with Chang'an as the western capital and Luoyang as the western capital.

The Wuyue Kingdom also followed this capital city system, making Hangzhou City the West Mansion and Yuezhou City the East Mansion, both with heavy troops.

There are [-] forbidden troops in Yuezhou City, and they are at a stalemate to resist the attack of Lu Chaoqun's army.

Now, Song Chengli led [-] elite soldiers to come and set up camp in Wuli of Yuezhou City, forming a horn with Yuezhou to deter Yang Wu Fuguo's army.

Sure enough, Lu Chaoqun, Lu Zheng and his son had a lot of headaches because of this. Yuezhou City had a high wall and could not be attacked for a long time. fight.

If the troops are divided into two ways to fight, the strength will be weakened. After the [-] army is divided into two, it will have no advantage whether it is to attack the city or fight against Song Chengli's reinforcements.

The barracks tent.

Lu Zheng said: "Father, we can't attack for a long time now, and the food and grass are only enough for half a month. We must ask the rear to collect food and bring it from Mingzhou, Taizhou, and Wenzhou to ensure that we have enough food and grass in half a month. The food caused a mutiny in the army, so they had to retreat."

Lu Chaoqun sat on the commander's seat and nodded slightly. He was well aware of the current situation. The damage caused by the siege was great, and the morale of the soldiers was gradually declining. There is no way to fight.

"Send someone to investigate the situation of the two generals Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying. Will there be any reports from the spies?"

Lu Zheng said: "I'm back. I asked just now. The two armies Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying were aided by Wu Yue, were defeated outside Wuzhou City, and fled to Wuyi. There are only 2 soldiers left. The army will die."

When Lu Chaoqun heard this, his face showed worry, and he said: "If the West Route Army fails, our army will go deep alone. Once the Wuyue Army from Wuzhou comes to copy our rear, then our army will be surrounded on three sides. Dangerous, when the time comes to attack from three sides, the morale of our army is bound to collapse in an instant, and we are sure to lose."

Lu Zheng said: "Father, I heard that Su Chen led the troops from Quanzhou and passed Wenzhou. They took the route of Chuzhou and Wuzhou. They should go to rescue the two generals Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying. With him, even if we can't The army that defeated Sun Chengyou can also be held back for a while, so that it will not be defeated quickly like the two generals Wei and Qi, and transfer the pressure to our side."

Lu Chaoqun sighed: "Hey, this Su Chen is famous all over the world for writing poems and lyrics. It's hard to say whether he has military talent, especially when he leads the army to fight against the enemy. I don't know if he will talk about soldiers on paper, like Zhao Kuo in the Warring States Period, and delay things. ah!"

"Probably not. If it fails, there will be no threat to us." Lu Zheng said with a smile.

After Lu Chaoqun thought about it, he ordered: "Send someone to pay close attention. If Su Chen leads troops to rescue, and after merging with Generals Wei and Qi, he still loses and leaves in a big defeat, then we will withdraw our troops immediately. We must not Besieged here by Wuyue soldiers and horses, withdraw to Wenzhou, and join the West Route Army in Wenzhou City. In this way, they are all defeated, but the main force of our soldiers and horses remains. When the time comes, all of them will be at our disposal. The prestige of father and son will reach the highest level, and it will be a matter of course for them to take charge of the soldiers and horses of the Restoration Army!"

"Father is wise, he should do this!" Lu Zheng smiled slightly, thinking that his father's plan was very good, he could control the power of the National Restoration Army, and prepare for the addition of the yellow robe in the future.

Lu Chaoqun stood up and showed a smile. His Lu family used to be a general in Heiyundu, and he endured 30 years in overseas islands just to return to Jiangdong today. Naturally, he didn't want to just be a wedding dress.

After Su Chen took Wuzhou, he quickly reorganized, selected [-] strong men, joined the Shence Army, and made up [-] main force elites. The remaining [-] were allocated, [-] were allocated to Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying, and [-] Stay in Wuzhou to guard the city, led by Hu Chengxian, who is responsible for stationing troops in Wuzhou City.

Since Wuzhou City is very close to Shezhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, only two hundred miles away, Su Chen sent someone to write a letter to Lu Jiang, the guard of Shezhou.

He intends to remind Lu Jiang that if Shezhou is really unable to defend, he can lead his troops to flee to the territory of Wuyue, and he can send people to set up an ambush in the border mountain area to attack the pursuers of Song Dynasty.

If Lu Jiang can hold on for a few more months, when Su Chen leads troops to capture Hangzhou City, he can draw out his troops and enter the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty to sneak attack Pan Mei's camp.

There are arrangements for advance and retreat, and General Lu Jiang is asked to make his own decision.

A few days later, the letter was sent to the city of Shezhou.

After Lu Jiang received the letter, she opened it and saw that it was a letter from her old friend Su Chen.

"Hey, Mr. Su's letter!"

Lu Jiang was taken aback, and after reading it carefully, she smiled and comforted her.

Originally, Lu Jiang was deeply concerned about Su Chen's murder, and had complaints about the court and Li Yu, but now that she knew that Su Chen was not dead, she felt relieved a lot.

Moreover, Su Chen told him his advice on how to advance and retreat, and Lu Jiang deeply agreed.

Lu Jiang trusted Su Chen's ability very much. When she was in Runzhou, she saved Runzhou's life and death several times, and also saved his life.

Now, from the letter, he also knows that the Yang Wu Fuguo organization and Mr. Su are in charge of the magical army, and that Han Xizai and others are building a new court in Quanzhou, and the situation is very good.

"Haha, very good, Mr. Su is really a god!"

Seeing Lu Jiang laughing, Tao Ze couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Why did General Lu suddenly laugh, and who sent this letter?"

He was worried that Lu Jiang would surrender to the Song army, so he still cared about correspondence.

Lu Jiang said: "General Tao, you said before that Yang Wu's Fuguo army was going to take action to restore the country in Quanzhou. At that time, I didn't take it seriously. Now, the situation is very good, and my best friend, General Su, is also here. I naturally We must advance and retreat with him. With the backing of Yang Wufu's army, we will not be alone and helpless against the Song army. Shezhou can abide by the rules. Pammy's army."

Tao Ze naturally understood that this General Su was Jiang Zuo Su Lang. Since there was a letter from this person to persuade Lu Jiang to approve of Yang Wu's Fuguo Army, it couldn't be better. Tao Zezu was all Yang Wu's officials. , who has been the governor of Shezhou for several generations, is deeply rooted, and mobilizes all forces to resist the attack of the Song army first.

It is also a good strategy to wait until the situation is unstoppable, and then break out of the encirclement and cooperate with General Su's troops to encircle and wipe out the pursuers.
